Engineering design tips

Some examples of the design of sintered parts:


Sharp corners replaced by radii.

Wall thickness s 0,1 d;
where possible not< 2mm.



Designs a), b) and c) allow easier tooling.


Avoid sharp corners on the diameters
d1 and d2.

Use radii instead.


Aim for round break-throughs.

Min. wall thickness s = 2mm.



Replace spanner faces with bores if the separation s is too little.


If the design calls for split dies keep the distance from the tooth base and crown > 2mm.



Ratio of d:b max. 1:2



Apply radii and 5 degree draft to cut outs.



Keep the thickness of the
tongue b 2mm;
Apply radius to the junction




Base thickness b 2mm



Avoid pointed contours b 1mm

Profiles on front faces can be produced without split dies if the depth
b2
and the height b3 0,1 x b1 is held.
Draft 5 degrees.




Module m 0,5



Undercuts, threads and cross bores cannot be produced in sinters.



Replace diamond knurl with straight knurl or profile.


Design outside edges straight or with
30 degree chamfers. Inner faces rounded.



In conical components, allow a cylindrical ring face b 0,5 mm
